Yesterday we reported the exciting news that La-La Land Records is going to release a complete 3-CD set from Jerry Goldsmith’s Oscar-nominated score for Star Trek: The Motion Picture in early June. Today TrekMovie can exclusively reveal the track listing details from the set. Check those out below, plus a behind the scenes video showing the transfer of the music.

Track listing for the new Star Trek: TMP 3-CD Set

Many (myself included) consider Jerry Goldsmith’s score for Star Trek: The Motion Picture to be the best of the franchise, and one of the best scores of all time. It is also one of the more extensive scores and now (finally) fans will be able to get the whole thing in one set, including some unused music. The limited edition set goes on sale June 5th (1PM PST) at www.lalalandrecords.com (no pre-orders). See previous article for more on the release and the July 4th Hollywood launch event.

La-La-Land brings you the complete score for Star Trek: The Motion Picture

Here is a video from the producer of the new CD Mike Matessino taken at Precision Audiosonics where Johnny Davis transfers the original 2" master role from Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Also in the video are co-producer Bruce Botnick (who worked with Jerry Goldsmith throughout his career) and assistant editor Neil Bulk. The music heard is the early (unused) version of "Leaving Drydock," which makes its debut on the new 3-CD set.

Mike tells TrekMovie he will be posting more videos from the making of this new exciting set, so stay tuned for updates.

I for one will be getting this. I have the one that was released back in early 2000. So this will be exciting. Jerry Goldsmith created a masterpeice in this music. Hey. It should have it’s own concert’s all over the country.

@7 There was a deluxe edition of the 2009 film’s score, yes, but it was limited. As I recall, too, there were some issues with it still not being complete; some tracks that featured the choir on film were missing those parts on the CD, or something like that. Film Score Monthly’s forum is a good place to go to research such things, as are the John Williams Fan Network forums.

If you cannot get a hold of a copy of the deluxe edition, I noticed that you can listen to the tracks on youtube. Example of Track 23 “Endangered Species”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B63l_VnV7FY
This is my favorite track.

I wish I could triple dip on this one. I already had the original soundtrack LP I’d bought as a kid back in ’80, and my wife got me the 2-disc SE CD 11 years ago for Christmas (which I play in my car all the time).

This is really my favorite of all the ST movie soundtracks. I’ll admit, TWoK and ST09 have more lively and ‘nautical’ scores. But I love how TMP’s music oscillates between regal fanfare (the opening tracks/the Enterprise theme) to eerie and alien (the discordant ‘blaster beams’ used for V’ger and ‘the cloud’).

A truly remarkable score. Jerry Goldsmith in top form. He and his son’s recent passings were terrible losses to the musical world.

The following are some of the most amazing cues ever written for anything since the dawn of cinema:

The Meld/A Good Start
The Enterprise

As a child I was lucky enough to see this movie the way it was intended to be seen on the big screen back in 1979….to this day nothing has come close to the spectacle of seeing the Enterprise on the big screen with Goldsmiths score soaring along…I doubt anything ever will now sadly!

I used to have the TMP soundtrack on eight-track. (I’m soooo old. When I look in a mirror it’s like a “The Deadly Years” situation! jk ;-)) But I’m getting this. I’ll think of it as Ilia’s Theme and some other great Goldsmith compositions! That theme is my #1 favorite piece of Trek related music! Just beautiful!

My first real exposure to Star Trek came when my parents took my friends and me to see TMP in 1979 for my 9th birthday. I loved it then and still do today. Jerry Goldsmith’s brilliant score is one of the main reasons why. Anybody want to loan me the money to buy this new release? :)

I think I’ll have to get this. I have Jerry Goldsmith’s “The Final Frontier”, “First Contact” and “The Mummy” soundtracks. What a great composer he was. Ditto for his son, Joel, who unfortunately recently passed away.

Last night, I listened to Michael Giacchino’s “Ratatouille” soundtrack. Great, beautiful stuff! MG has to be considered the successor to Jerry Goldsmith.

I was in USAF Basic Training when ST:TMP premiered. My TI was kind enough to call me down to the orderly room when a news segment about the film’s premiere came on TV. When I got to my tech school in Biloxi, the first thing I did when I got permission to go off base was to see that movie. What a ride…

I’s always read that Jerry Goldsmith and Gene Roddenberry had agreed that the early takes were lacking cohesion and fell flat without that central theme; from what I hear here that sounds they were spot- on to go back to the drawing board.
I heard the eary vrtsion of The Enterprise somewhere and found it to be completely uninspiring when compared to the final version.

hey anthony i saw a couple of trek related stories on yahoo–2 trekkies suing ilinois over their car being searched n he used a trek video he made….and some engineer says a real enterprise could be built within 20 years st cost of one billion`…maybe facebook owners could pay foir it with their zillions

yes bob i think it was robert wise and goldsmith not gene rodd….his original was very nautical but not exciting enuf n when goldsmith came back wise said something like why didnt you do that music the 1st time…course goldsmith got an emmy for his main title voyager theme.well deserved too…

I always thought that the soundtrack for Star Trek The Motion Picture was a full digital recording, tracked to digital and mixed-down to digital. Now I discover it was recorded to analog and was only mixed to digital. This means this release is going to sound magnificient as early digital recorders sounded dreadful.

I watched the video and the alternate/unused version of the Enterprise flyover sounds very 70’s ish to me. Yet the whole TMP score is just simply put a timeless masterpiece. Thank goodness were finally getting this soundtrack. The release date is already marked on my calendar!

I think I remember hearing a sample of the early Enterprise music (it was on the bonus features of the ST-TMP 2001 release DVD), and (even as a Goldsmith fan) I have to admit, it wasn’t his A-game. It sounded like covered wagons crossing the plains into the old west…

His final E theme was simply perfect. As was (IMO) the rest of the score. I also enjoy Goldsmith’s exotic music for the 1968 “Planet of the Apes” (primitive and eerie; loved the weird percussion noises and horns), as well as his music for ALIEN. Both beautiful (at times) and creepy…

But the unused themes for ST-TMP also illustrate that even the best composers can have ‘off’ days…. ;-)

my absolute fave goldsmiths are tmp and logans run—-no one has ever made any better film music for scifi movies….plus one of the last films to have an overture play before the movie was tmp…and john barrys black hole another excellent movie score from back then as was imo john williams best music for close encounters—course star wars,et, raiders also unforgettable scores–man a lot of great movies n movie music came out then—-yah seeing tmp opening night after waiting for a new trek was like nirvana for me—tho tmp has its flaws i never noticed them back then…they are easy to forgive and tmp is just about the only truly cosmic scifi trek adventure
